Well folks it has been quite a while since I posted, but a friend talked me into finishing what I started so that is what I am doing. So over the next few months I plan of posting the remainder of Wedding Ring and the rest of Circle the Noun but I think they will be the last of the stories I will be posting on nifty for some time. Thank you all for the support you have given over a year of writing. It has been fun.

As all his clothes reeked of sweat and drink, Chance was left in a pair of dirty underwear with the rest of his clothes being washed. To help the time pass, he read the newspaper which he laid against the dryer. So he was quite surprised when a large basket of clothes were dropped on the washer next to him.
"Darren!" Chance squeaked. He could clearly see that Darren was only dressed in a dark blue speedo.
"It looks like you beat me to the machines."
"Oh... I'm sorry. Do you want me to take the clothes out?"
"Nah... but you should not waste your time here. Why don't you join us for a swim?"
"A swim... but I only have my underwear."
"Not a problem. It's not like I'm wearing a lot. So why not join us?" Darren said as he wrapped an arm around Chance's shoulders.
The tingle that the touch of muscle on muscle made went down the spine of Chance's back. Turing his body around, he pressed the front of his body against Darren's. Darren found he had to hold Chance up as the man cried against his shoulder. But at the same time he was crying, Chance's hands explored the other man's body, running his fingers down Darren's chest, reaching over and feeling the muscles of his ass.
Darren for his part ran his hand through the hair on the back of Chance's head while he kissed him of the forehead. He grinned when he felt something hard growing against him. Darren had given Chance a woody and he was not running away.
"Come on, I think Philip will want to take care of your growth spurt."
"My growth spurt?"
"Your hard on," Darren laughed...as he patted Chance on the back before heading out to the pool.
"Yeah Philip ..." Chance sighed... he was starting to think he had picked the wrong person.
Philip was already in the pool, watching the kids as they swam. A rope, separating the shallow and deep ends, divided the pool. [A rope divided the deep and shallow ends of the pool.] Darren dived in from the deep end and basically glided over the shallow end, jumping out of the water right behind John.
"Gotcha," Darren laughed as he lifted his son out of the water.
"Dad!" His son yelled as Darren dropped him down into the water.
"Me... me!" Kyle said excitedly after seeing John fly.
"Ok," Darren agreed as he swam over to Kyle and threw him as well.
By this time John had swam over to his dad, climbing onto his back, which led to Kyle climbing onto Philips back. After several bouts of chicken fighting both parents knocked both kids off their shoulders.
"Ok kids... time to get back inside," Darren said as he saw Chris and Jacob come out on to the patio.
As the two kids ran for the house Chance looked at the couple. Jacob was in a dark green speedo and his pale skin shined with a heavy layer of sun block. Chris was in a less revealing swimsuit that looked like a pair of Bermuda shorts.
After the other two had dove in, Darren swam over to Chance. "Why haven't you jumped in the water yet?"
"I can't swim in my underwear," Chance blushed. He knew that the material would just cling to his dick if he did.
"Then help me out?" Darren asked as he offered a hand.
"Ok." Chance agreed but as soon as Darren had a firm grip on his hand Chance found himself pulled forward and into the pool.
Before he had a chance to surface out of the water, Darren was out of the pool and making his way to the laundry room. "I'll switch your load for you," He called back.
Chance was about to follow when he felt two arms wrap around his waist. "And where do you think you're going," Philip's voice laughed.
"I was going to go help Darren. He shouldn't be taking care of my clothes."
"Don't worry about it. He might be a professor and all but he likes doing housework. He says it gives his hands something to do while he thinks about the mysteries of the universe."
"Ok but I should get out of the pool... I'm not wearing the cleanest pair of underwear in the world."
"Don't worry about it. It's time to continue with your education."
"My education?"
"Well, getting you to accept your urges."
"My urges?" Chance said, playing dumb. If he were following his urges he would be going after Darren right now.
"Yes," Philip said as he kissed Chance's wet shoulder, running his tongue up his neck.
Chance had been so distracted by the goings on around his neck that he did not noticed where Philip's hands were going until it was too late. With a quick dive, Philip pulled off Chance's underwear before swimming away. Chance made a grab for Philip's legs, but as he pulled him back, Philip tossed the shorts over to Jacob who happened to be making out with Chris at the moment.
"Hey!" Jacob complained as he took the shorts off his head while Chris gave Philip a dirty look.
"Jacob, give them back!" Chance yelled as he continued to wrestle with Philip.
"No... I think you two should fight it out... bye. Come on hon, the hot tub awaits," Jacob said as he led his lover to the stairs, both of them leaving their own suits in the pool.
Between trying to escape Philip and trying to prevent him from getting to his underwear first, Chance did not notice that Philips Speedo was off until he felt something hard pressed against his back. Once again he was frozen by his shock
"Just explore and enjoy the feeling," Philip said as he let Chance get back onto his feet. He massaged Chance's abs and pecs while he let his dick rest in the crack of Chance's ass.
Chance for his part tensed up. His shoulder tightened and his stomach clenched. He was sure he was about to lose his breakfast but then his own hard on took form and while that muscle tightened the rest of him began to relax. Here he was stripped naked in the arms of another man and the world was not coming to an end.
"Now that I have your attention..." Philip laughed as he gave Chance's cock a tug. "We are going to move on to kissing."
"Kissing."
"Yes... didn't you play the game spin the bottle when you were a kid?"
"No."
"Well it's time to make up for lost opportunities. I will kiss you on certain parts of your body and then it will be your turn to do the same...ok?"
"Uhmmmm..." Chance was about to protests but by the time he knew what he was going to say Philip had taken his hand and kissed it.
"See no big deal," Philip said reassuringly as he swam around to face Chance.
"I..." Chance remained stunned.
"You thought I was going to kiss you on the lips...didn't you."
"Yeah that..." Chance mumbled... it was not his lips that had been on his mind.
"Oh...hehehehehe... you thought.... You thought I was going to kiss your dick."
"Not really," Chance said bit his blush and looking down to the bottom of the pool gave him away.
"Don't worry... it will be a few days before we get to that... unless?" Philip grinned as he offered his hand to Chance.
"What?" Chance asked confused.
"It's your turn," Philip winked.
"Ok..." Chance said as he took in a deep breath. All the teaching the ex-gay group had pushed into his mind popped into his head. He could feel his chest tighten as his heart pounded. But he could not fight he desire to be understood... to be wanted. The ones leading his group did not have his feelings... his problems... his emotions. If being understood meant being damned... so be it. Chance took Philip's hand and kissed it for a longer period then Philip had.
"Good... you ok?" Philip asked with a gentle smile that was soon met by Chance's lips. For the next ten minutes the two made out in the pool, Philip with a good grip on Chance's prick until a white cloud of fluid shot out.
Slowly becoming limp Chance moved away from Philip. "What have I done?" He said not so much in fear or anger but disbelief.
"Let me ask you this... how did it feel?"
The word BAD was the knee jerk response that popped in his head. It was what he had wanted to think. It was what he was supposed to think but it was not what he felt. He felt warm inside... almost happy. "I don't know what I feel."
"Ok..." Well it's time for me to make lunch. Are you going to be ok?"
"Yeah I'll be fine... I just need things to slow down a little."
"Alright, going back to your room to shower?"
"Nah... all my clothes are in the laundry room so I guess I will shower there."
"Ok... tell Darren lunch will be ready in an hour."
"Will do."
After a long hot shower to remove the nervous agitation he felt, Chance wrapped a towel around his waist and joined Darren in the laundry room.
"Your clothes will be done in a few," Darren said as he looked at the dial.
"Thanks... I tried to put my underwear back on, but all it did was curl up."
"Yeah... that's why I don't wear boxer briefs. Its either boxers or briefs."
"No thongs?" Chance asked trying to imagine Darren in one.
"No... I don't like some sting up my ass personally. Philip has a few though."
"You... you are a lot different from Philip."
"Yeah I guess you can say that... but can I ask you what it is that you see?"
"I will... if you will do one thing for me."
"What is that?" Darren asked concerned as he hopped off the washer.
"I would like you to kiss me."
"Ok," Darren said as he walked over to Chance and kissed him on the lips. Chance let his towel fall to the ground and pushed his body hard against Darren's, feeling his warmth pass on to him. Darren made only the slightest effort to move away but Chance pressed on. Sensing what Chance wanted, Darren opened his mouth and let his tongue run across Chance's lips and was rewarded by them parting. Inside, Darren's tongue found Chance's waiting tentatively. He let the underside run along the bottom of Chance's tongue until Chance had the courage to tangle and twists his around Darren's.
While the kiss continued with each of them breathing into each other's mouths, One of Chance's hands cupped Darren's left ass cheek while the other ran down from his chest to his stomach where he found a hard knob poking out of Darren's speedo.
"You're hard!" Chance said amazed in that he had some effect on this guy.
"So are you," Darren laughed. "Want me to get Philip?"
"No... I mean can't we take care of this ourselves?"
"Sure... hop up onto the washer. I'll join you."
"Ok." Chance said eagerly. He got himself positioned just in time to watch Darren bend over to take off his swim suit, showing off his tan lined ass. As soon as they were off, Darren joined him on the dryer.
"What are we going to do now?" Chance asked... hoping for a suck or maybe even a fuck.
"We are going to jack each other off," Darren said as he curled his fingers around Chance's cock.
"Oh man..." Chance sighed... Having another touch him was definitely different from masturbating alone.
After a few strokes, Chance closed his eyes imagining more was happening and as if his wish were heard more did happen. Chance felt something warm a wet run along the side of his neck, followed by the pressure of lips kissing. He then felt his hand being taken by Darren's and brought over until, to his excitement, he felt his fingers brush against Darren's cock, becoming damp when they touched the sticky head.
""It works better with your eyes open," Darren whispered into Chance's ear.
"Huh!" Chance asked confused.
"If there is something you really want you need to see it to take it."
"Ok..." Chance said as his eyes became glued on Darren's prick. Gingerly he let his finger's grasp around Darren's meat, rolling it in his fingers and giving it a squeeze. Darren gave him another kiss on the cheek just as the spin cycle went off on the dryer, sending a buzzing vibration against Chance's ass. "Oh man..." He exhaled again.
"Come on, let's get to it... lunch will be ready soon," Darren encouraged as he pick up the pace.
Chance began his strokes slowly speeding up until he met Darren's strokes pull for pull. During the whole time they let their lips touch in quick gentle kisses, at moments letting their tongues duel with each other.
Of course it was Chance who shot his load first onto his chest and stomach. His hand on Darren's prick immediately slowed down until Darren's hand grabbed onto his and speed him back up.
It took a little longer but Darren did finally cum. He scooped up some of it with a finger and out it into his mouth before pulling Chance into another French kiss, sharing the taste of his spunk with him.
Chance lapped up the salty flavor onto his tongue before letting it run down his throat. He sighed, resting his head against Darren's shoulders. They remained like that in silence until the buzzing sound of the dryer stopping startled them.
"Well it looks like the clothes are done. Are you going to be ok?"
"Yes," Chance said as he hopped down from the washer. It might have been the vibration of the washer or his subconscious but he found he had an itch up his ass but now was not the time to try to get that taken cared of.
Darren, needing to get dressed himself, left Chance to his thoughts. The contrast between Darren and Philip was amazing. Darren was so slow and gentle while Philip pushed him forward. Chance knew he would of never been so forward with Darren if it had not been for Philip's pushing him, but when it came to "feeling good" Darren was supreme and was based on the pillar that he did not feel guilty with him. In fact he felt he was falling in love.
Jacob could see at once that something had happened between Darren and Chance. It was not from the calm, happy exterior that Darren always seemed to have... it was the glowing...near worshipping look that Chance had. Jacob knew that if he did not intervene trouble would brew so it would be better if he stopped the problem at the start. So after lunch, Jacob followed Chance back to the laundry room.
"Hey..." Chance called out when he heard the door open. But as soon as he turned around and saw Jacob his shoulders slumped as if in disappointment.
"Awww... not happy to see me, or were you hoping I was someone else?" Jacob laughed as he went over to the sock pile to sort them.
"No...." Chance mumbled.
"Good, cause we need to talk."
"About what?"
"About falling in love... it's going to happen to you now if it hasn't happened yet."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean the anger that used to be in your eyes each time you saw me is gone."
"It can always come back," Chance grunted as he glared at him.
"Nope... once you have men... you'll just want to do it again," Jacob said... impresses by his limerick.
"Hehehe... very funny, but I have not done much yet."
"But you now want to."
"Well I'm sure Philip wants me to."
"Yeah... but is that the person you really want to do it with."
"I don't know what you mean."
"Don't play stupid with me... I know whom you were eying during lunch."
"I told you at breakfast that I liked Philip," Chance said getting defensive.
"Ok... be that way but let me tell you a few things about Darren."
"Ok..."
First of all he is an excellent lover."
"And that is suppose to be a bad thing?"
"It is for us who fall in love with him. You see... I taught Darren too well for he has never learned how to fuck."
"You mean he is a bottom?"
"No I mean that he doesn't know how to have sex just for the enjoyment of it. He always brings out the other person's emotions... and I'm not talking about lust."
"I still don't think I understand."
"Ok let me just show you..." Jacob insisted, pulling Chance into a deep kiss, which took Chance off guard.
When it was done Chance had to catch his breath... "Why did you do that?'
"To show you the difference between my kiss and Darren's."
"What do you mean?"
"Well... tell me what you felt when I kissed you."
"Surprise... a little excitement..."
"Sexual excitement?"
"Yes," Chance said, holding his head up with a hand is if admitting it shamed him.
"Ok... now here's the kicker... what did you feel when Darren kissed you?"
"He didn't..." Chance almost stammered out but to look that Jacob gave him showed that the lie would not be believed. "I felt loved... I felt cared for... I felt my heart flutter... my dick harden... I felt my pain leave me."
"That is the difference... " Jacob said as he brushed away a tear. That is the difference between fucking and love making and unfortunately for us Darren only knows how to do one."
Jacob went on to explain his long, complex relationship with Darren. He told Chance how it had been Darren who had come on to him in the steam room and how it had lead them to being lovers. Jacob then explained how it had all ended. Jacob knew that Darren loved him but not in the way he loved Will. Even with Will gone Jacob knew that no one got Darren's full love... or put it better... Darren did not accept anyone's love like he had Will's... not even Philip. That was why, Jacob explained, he had stopped sleeping with Darren. For while he still loved and was loved greatly by Darren, he knew that Darren would not love him as much as he wanted him to unlike with Chris who... while not the best lover in the world...gave it all he had.
"So what I am trying to say is don't fall in love with Darren. He is a great guy but no one trying has him."
`Not even Philip?"
"Not even him... not to say there is not love between them... there is but their relationship was born more out of need then love."
"What do you mean?"
"Well when Will left, Darren was very lonely... a lot like how you're now. Darren was Philip's first real adult crush. He stayed with Darren when people like Tara and myself were off building our own lives. In a way Darren ended up with Philip due to our neglect."
"You don't really want Darren with Philip... do you?"
Jacob sighed before responding... "I just want him to be happy. I wish sometimes it was me with the job."
"Maybe I could..."
"Maybe so but don't bet your heat on it and don't think Philip will like you for it.'
"What do you mean by that."
"Nothing... it's just not wise to mess with another person's man."
"So I should not fall in love with Darren?"
"No."
"But what if it's too late?" Chance asked a worried expression on his face.
"Join the club," Jacob said with a reassuring grin. "Come on, don't worry about it. We just need to get you out dating is all," Jacob said as he wrapped his arms around Chance, giving him a pat on the back.
"I want to confront Philip!" Jacob shouted at Chris continuing an argument that they seemed to have every few months. "I can't face Darren anymore knowing that it was Philip who shot Will."
"And what will that do? It would leave Darren alone with two kids, half a dozen families broken, and Kyle without his role model."
"But should this have happened in the first place? As soon as we found out we should of come forward. When we found Will we should of dragged his sorry ass back here so he could be with Darren. We both know he is the only person Darren loves completely."
"Why are you bringing this up now?" Chris asked frustrated. "You usually find a reason to bring it back up."
Jacob took a deep breath before responding. "It's Chance... he's falling in love with him."
"Damn it! I knew this would happen!"
"Chris... It's not his fault."
"Well if you want to have a talk it should be Darren we talk to. How many hearts has he broken?"
"Chris... don't make this about you and me."
"But it is... you are always making excuses for him."
"And you can't get over the fact that he and I fucked."
"..." Chris remained silent.
"Chris... how many times do I have to tell you that you make me happy. I love you."
"But I am not your greatest love."
"No... but our relationship is my greatest creation."
"You really mean that?"
"Yes... you are my rock."
"I'll take that to mean I am a more certain deal then Darren."
"Hey... there is nothing wrong with stability... it is even a little sexy."
"Yeah right... there has not been much action in the bed lately."
"Well you know how to fix that," Jacob said as he pinched Chris's ass.
"Ok... I'll think about it."
"Good... now what about Philip."
"Well, tell me about Chance."
"Well if I knew another guy like Darren, I would be introducing Chance to him right now, but how many well centered, tender, brotherly, religious, straight acting, parental, versatile, handsome, and most importantly, available men are out there?
"Are those all of Darren's personality traits?" Chris laughed.
"Well they are the ones I think Chance sees. Chance needs someone who is emotionally stable, some one to be both a brother and father figure to him. He also needs someone he can connect with spiritually. Darren can make him feel good about himself and being gay."
"You're right about that. I'm sorry if I sound like I'm bashing Darren all the time... he is a good man but still he is not available... is he?"
Jacob remained silent.
"I see... You are playing with fire, love... just be careful the house you are trying to build doesn't burn down."
